DW 5520-2 Hi-Hat Stand with Percussion Mount and Double Bass Drum Pedal
The 5520-2 is a two-part set: the two-leg hi-hat stand with percussion mount from the same series, and the 5000 double bass drum pedal with Accelerator cam and dual chain. The manufacturer sums it up this way: everything needed to play complex rhythms with a double pedal and a hi-hat ready to carry a cowbell.
What sets it apart
- Two-leg hi-hat stand with built-in mount
- Dual-chain double bass drum pedal, Accelerator cam
- Cowbell, wood block or compact accessory placed at foot level
- Patented Delta ball-bearing hinge
- Lateral cymbal seat adjustment
- Tri-Pivot clamp on the bass drum hoop
Three voices under your feet, bought in one go
A drummer who wants double bass drum AND a cowbell at foot level usually has to put together three purchases: the hi-hat stand, the double pedal, then some way to hang the percussion somewhere. The third always comes last and ends up on a badly placed clamp.
This set handles all three at once, with parts from the same family: the hi-hat already carries its mount, and the double pedal is the one the manufacturer pairs with it.
Two legs, and the room that leaves
The hi-hat stand in this set has only two legs. That is not cost-cutting: it is what makes the double pedal possible. The third leg's spot stays empty, and that is exactly where the auxiliary pedal fits.
The manufacturer also describes the single-post frame of its auxiliary pedal as what lets it sit closer to the hi-hat pedal, for faster moves from one to the other. Both ideas work in the same direction.
The cowbell at foot level, and what it changes for the pattern
The percussion mount sits at the bottom of the tube, out of the zone where the hands work. A cowbell or wood block attaches there without getting in the way of the sticks above the drums.
For Latin patterns, where cowbell, hi-hat and bass drum answer each other within the same bar, that closeness is exactly what you want: the distance between the voices is set once, at setup, and stays put.
